Steven C Clemons: "Al Jazeera Bush Bombing Memo" -- Leak to Latham ...

[understandinglife]

But the trial of two British bureaucrats, David Keogh and Leo O'Connor -- charged with leaking the contents of a secret document to the media -- has resumed today.

It is alleged that there are ten lines in a five page memo capturing a discussion between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and President George W. Bush in which Blair is attempting to dissuade Bush from his interest in bombing Al Jazeera's Doha, Qatar headquarters.

I will have more on this later, but a good source of someone watching this matter closely is BlairWatch:

On the eve of the trial, Peter Kilfoyle, former UK defence minister who has been leading the calls for disclosure of the conversation went public with the revelation that back in 2004 he and Tony Clarke MP had leaked the contents of the Memo to an American contact, John Latham, a "contributing member" to the Democrat National Committee in the hope he would release it in the States, beyond the reach of the OSA.

Unfortunately Mr Latham declined to do anything with this information, and we remained blissfully unaware of this story untill somebody passed details to the Daily Mirror.

2. It is interesting that

John Latham, a "contributing member" to the Democrat National Committee, did not do anything with this memo. Why? Or maybe the media squashed it?
